What is Brit awards?

Quote from chilean-stan1

UK biggest music awards, basically a british grammy but without the messy and shady stuff behind

Well...I wouldn't say that. This is the same BRIT awards that got rid of this exact category in 2020 (arguably BTS biggest year), after they were called out for not nominating BTS at all in 2019 (another big year for them) and they also very famously snubbed Rina Sawayama in nominations because she wasn't "British" enough (she's a Japanese-British artist), so. I think it's fair to say that they're at the very least messy, if not outrightly xenophobic. Happy they're course correcting, at least.

I mean compared to the grammys, the brits are on a better light anyways. Both still a very much high caliber award in music, but have had questionable decisions, just that the US is more awful

I wouldn't trust either institution as far as I could throw it, tbh. Prestigious they may be, but both seem happy to only offer conditional acceptance of non-western artists. The Grammys are outwardly messier, but who knows what's being said behind closed doors.

It's always funny when some people downplay BP's achievements in some regions. Then something happens like this and makes antis crawl back under their rocks.

congrats : )

hopefully they win bcs i mean it also gives spotlight to SK so yay them!
